| 説明 | Oliver Cromwell has been a ‘marmite’ figure in history, seen by some as a champion of liberty and regarded as a seventeenth-century tyrant and butcher by others. Queen Victoria wasn’t a big fan of Oliver Cromwell because he was a Republican who liked chopping the heads off members of her family.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_I_of_EnglandLegend has it that Queen Victoria refused to come to the opening of the brand new Manchester Town Hall in 1877 unless the statue of Cromwell was removed. It wasn’t, so she didn’t come. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchester_Town_HallCromwell's statue has since been exiled to Wythenshawe Park, where he stands to this day. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wythenshawe_ParkSee also, a tale of two statues library.chethams.com/blog/a-tale-of-two-statues/Picture by Ben Brooksbank on Wikimedia Commons w.wiki/6j9y |
